This is excellent news! Hopefully Magyar will win and lead Hungary in a new positive direction. Orban has been a stain on Hungary politics

I’m kinda shocked that Utah Legislature is actually doing something positive to support the climate and specifically the Great Salt Lake. The bankrupted magnesium company was a major polluter in the state
ICYMI, Utah’s Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands has won a bid for U.S. Magnesium’s bankruptcy assets. The legislature will spend $30m for the plant branded as one of Utah’s top polluters with plans to keep a lot of water in the Great Salt Lake: www.fox13now.com/news/great-s... #utpol #Utah
